Fiction
e-HOBBY/Generations Selects
Blue (ブルー Burū) led the great multiversal Primus Vanguard against dark armies and nefarious extra-dimensional invaders. As befitted his position, he carried the α Matrix and wielded the evil-vanquishing Matrix Sword inherited from leaders past. At one point he saved his comrade Straxus from three Specters, using the Matrix energy coursing through his body to vanquish the otherwise untouchable foes. Cybertron Blue Big Convoy prequel comic
Straxus later betrayed the Primus Vanguard, setting them against each other. In the end, Big Convoy was killed and his sword stolen, but he was able to transfer part of his power to Magna Convoy before expiring. Using energy from the leader's lingering spark within the Matrix Sword, Straxus would later create a clone, Convobat.
After Magna Convoy retrieved a broken Matrix Sword from Straxus, Big Convoy's essence within the sword appeared to Magna Convoy and entrusted him with the "Blue Order", a responsibility to guide and support his clone, before fading away. Cybertron Magna Convoy prequel comic Cybertron Magna Convoy
Legends comic
Blue Big Convoy was a Convoy Type, a Transformer created by Vector Sigma in the image of Optimus Primal, but unlike his peers he did not believe this earned him a spot on the Convoy Council and expected that the inequality caused by glorifying Convoys would eventually lead to rebellion. He believed in peace between Maximals and Predacons and fought many battles to defend that peace together with his son, Big Junior, until he fell defending Junior during a battle with mysterious foes. On his deathbed, he taught his son that a Convoy isn't something special you're born as, but something you become when you choose to fight to protect others. Asking Junior to take his left arm for himself, he dubbed him "Big Convoy" before passing away. Bonus Edition Vol. EX

Notes
- In his prequel comic, Blue Big Convoy gives his name as "Blue" alone, with the title of "Big Convoy" given as an alternate reading of his title "Grand Supreme Commander" (偉大なる司令官, idainaru shireikan). This is a common trope in Japanese media, whereby the author is able to communicate the meaning of a name or concept originating in another language while preserving the pronunciation of the word. Other leaders within the Primus Vanguard would preserve this naming scheme.
